Hello again,

I'm trying to implement this wonderful module on my D6 installation. I have installed the module, and the jquery update module. Enabled all the permissions. I have left the default path as sites/default/files, then added my images to sites/default/files/images/rira05152010. So in the block settings I have the path as images/rira05152010. It seems like it's seeing the folder because it shows the block title when I place it on a page, just no images. If I change the path it doesn't even show the title.

I'm using an imagecache preset and set the permissions to the folder to 777. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?? The address of my test site is:

www.burnardweb.com/take3d6

and the block is in the lower left corner. If you have any suggestions I'd really appreciate it! Thanks again.

There is a javascript error:

There are 2 version of jquery.js one from drupal and jquery update (1.3.2) and one from the theme (1.2.6)
Can you remove the dependency for jquery update from ddblock.info in the ddblock module and disable jquery update module.

EDIT: you can also delete call in the theme you use where the jquery.js file is added, so you only have jquery.js version 1.3.2

If this does not help

There are also 2 version2 of the cycle plugin, one from views_slideshow and one from ddblock
Do you use views_slideshow? if not disable it for now.

-----
Your path for the files and the settings for the path are ok.

You use probably an imagecache setting for the images, the images created by imagecache are at
http://www.burnardweb.com/take3d6/sites/default/files/imagecache/Jims_la...

e.g. http://www.burnardweb.com/take3d6/sites/default/files/imagecache/Jims_la...
but they cant be found (50 errors, files not found)

Probably image cache can not generate the images. (Permissions issue on the server)

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Thanks so much for the quick reply!

Ok, I've removed the dependency line in the ddblock.info file, I've disabled the jquery update module. I also disabled the views_slideshow module and turned off the use of imagecache in the dynamic block. Still no images.... I gotta be getting close... Any thoughts as to something I've missed? Again, thank you for your help.

The images are there now.

Still the javascript error exists.
Can you delete the line where the jquery.js file is added by the theme you use.

That seems to have done the trick! I thought that may kill the slideshow in the banner but it doesn't look like it's affected it. Again, I can't thank you enough :)!

Ok, so looks like adding the jquery.js file again after the ddblock.js file and cycle plugin file is the cause of the issue.
(don't know why the theme should again add jquery.js, Drupal by default has this same version of jquery.js)

--
Hopefully you can help me, to see if other things also causes the issue.

You are now using jquery.js version 1.2.6. which is by default added by Drupal
When using jguery_update 2.x the jquery version would become 1.3.2.

Can you enable jquery update again to see if the javascript error comes back.

--
After this
Can you enable views_slideshow again, to see if two version of the cycle plugin causes the error to return.

--
After this
Can you enable imagecache again for the images. (maybe you need to give permissions for the directory, so imagecache can generate images.)

Hopefully you can help me to trace the javascript and imagcache errors.

Thanks

Ok so I enabled the jquery update - still everything worked.

Then I enabled the views_slideshow - everything still good.

Enabled imagecache and ran into problems but I think it was my fault. I did not have the 'ImageAPI GD2' enabled which I did a quick search for imagecache problems and found that I needed that. So, I enabled that, deleted my presets and created them again and it seems to be working just fine.

I hope that helps a little bit - maybe the jscript problem was completely due to the theme and I just messed up on the imagecache?
